Built around 1911 to designs by Louis Berger & Company (NB 1727-1911), this two-story house belonged originally to builder Paul Stier. Its brick front, which has since been painted, curves out in a bay and ends in a modillioned cornice. The Commission recorded cast-iron fencing, a gate and newel posts around the areaway that may be original, along with an aluminum awning and a replacement door.

The Commission's report describes most houses in the district as about 20 feet wide, two or three stories tall, with five rooms in the first-floor apartment and six in each apartment upstairs. Every apartment had its own full kitchen and bathroom.
